Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 252 Shen Yu'an Was Arrested

Hearing that what Lao Zhao said did not seem to be a lie, one of the yamen servants did not dare to be disrespectful, and went in to report to Lin Juling.

County magistrate Lin just lay down because of a half-night quarrel with two arsonists sent by Shenjia Village the night before. Now he heard that the daughter of the governor of Lingzhou disappeared in his territory, and got up immediately.

"It's not true, is it? What does the reporter look like?" County Magistrate Lin asked while putting on his clothes.

"A maidservant and two men. By the way, when the middle-aged man was holding onto Jiang Wu's collar, I saw that he had six fingers on his right hand."

The county magistrate Lin's face changed drastically when he heard this. Last time when the governor of Lingzhou brought his wife to Wantian County for inspection, didn't the governor's wife bring a six-fingered entourage with him?
"Quick, invite them in, I'll be there soon."

"Yes." Seeing that the county magistrate was in disarray, the yamen's office was frightened, and hurried to the yamen's gate.

Old Zhao was still at the gate of the yamen, arguing with several other yamen servants, and they were about to fight.

The yamen servant who reported the letter hurriedly stopped them, and invited old Zhao Hongluan and Lao Qian into the lobby of the county yamen.

Soon magistrate Lin put on his clothes and came in trembling.

"What's the matter?" As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Lao Zhao. This familiar face was indeed the entourage of the governor's wife. County magistrate Lin recognized him, and his attitude became extremely respectful, "Sit, sit Say, serve tea!"

The few yamen servants who prevented them from breaking in just now were terrified when they saw this, and sneaked away dragging their killing sticks.

The three of Lao Zhao didn't have the heart to drink tea, so they hurriedly told the ins and outs of Ding Xiaolian's disappearance.

County magistrate Lin didn't dare to delay, and almost sent everyone in the yamen to Dahe Town to search for the missing Ding Xiaolian.

At this time, Master Li leaned closer to the magistrate's ear and whispered: "Recently, I have received many cases of missing women. It is suspected that someone is selling teeth to the Western Regions. Will Miss Ding be arrested?"

Mr. Li once reminded County Magistrate Lin to investigate these cases of missing women, but County Magistrate Lin felt that there was nothing to fish for, so he let it go.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin's face softened a lot. At most, Miss Ding would suffer a little in the hands of Ren Yazi, at least she would be fine.Just send a letter to the checkpoint in the Western Regions, and you will not be able to escape if you stay at the checkpoint.

He hurriedly said to Old Zhao: "You don't need to panic, and don't alarm the governor, I will definitely bring Miss Ding back safe and sound."

Old Zhao agreed, they lost the young lady, if they alarmed the governor, would they be killed?
County magistrate Lin asked: "What kind of carriage is Miss Ding riding in? What kind of person is the coachman?"

Old Zhao thought for a while: "The car called in the middle of the night, the man didn't look at people when he was talking, and he really didn't see his face, but that carriage. By the way, Shen Yuan, didn't we meet Shen Yuan and drive a carriage on the road? ? That car is a lot like that."

Hongluan is very strange: "This~~ can't it? How could the carriage be in her hands? Her house was set on fire last night, so she has no way to separate her."

County magistrate Lin slapped the gavel, "If you want to kidnap someone, you don't have to do it yourself, you can hire someone to do it, and it's not necessarily a gang crime."

Seeing what Magistrate Lin said so firmly, Lao Zhao and Hong Luan looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they still didn't believe it, the more Lao Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that the carriage was the one he hired in Zhendong.

"Why are you still standing there? You don't want to save your lady?" County Magistrate Lin was more anxious than anyone else, "Captain Li, hurry up and take a few people to follow Mr. Zhao to arrest him."

Shen Yuan drove the carriage slowly for a long time, and when she was about to enter the city, a carriage rushed out in front of her and directly blocked her, and Li Butou led several officers and soldiers to surround her.

Shen Yu'an was inexplicably surprised, and Lao Zhao dragged her out of the car and got into the car.

After searching the carriage, Old Zhao found a meat bun in an inconspicuous corner with sharp eyes, and exclaimed: "That's right, it's this carriage, and one of the meat buns rolled on the ground." At that time, I left two meat buns for the lady, but one of them rolled on the ground.

After hearing Lao Zhao's words, Catcher Li looked at Shen Yuan coldly: "Quick, tie him up."

Shen Yuan was confused and tried to stay calm: "What are you doing to tie me up? Did I break any law?"

Old Zhao got off the carriage with the meat buns and glared at Shen Yuan angrily: "Miss Shen, my lady is the daughter of the governor of Lingzhou, where did you tie her up? Letting her out now can spare your life, otherwise Your whole family will be implicated.'

Shen Yuan: I was dumbfounded.

After a long while, he asked, "Your lady disappeared? When did she disappear?" Old Zhao said angrily, "You're still pretending? Didn't you kidnap her?"

Shen Yuan was speechless, and desperately broke free from the ropes that bound her: "You let me go, my house was burned last night and I spent a whole night in Shenjia Village, so many eyes watched, how can I blame this matter?"

Li Butou sneered: "Your absence at the scene does not prove that you did not do this. You can instruct others to do it!" Qian entered the Renyazi gang and kidnapped Miss Ding.

After speaking, regardless of Shen Yu'an's resistance, he tied her up forcibly, and dragged her into the city.

The group didn't go far when they met the villagers who had sent Mrs. Wang and Shen Zuorong into the Yamen the night before, driving out in a carriage.

"What's the matter, Miss Shen? What happened to you?"

Shen Wen, who was driving the carriage, stopped the carriage, and was also surprised to see Shen Yu'an being tied up, and the others in the carriage also got out of the carriage quickly, and asked the reason with concern.

Lao Zhao gave a general account of Ding Xiaolian's disappearance last night, and told them that the carriage Shen Yuan was driving was the one that kidnapped Ding Xiaolian, so Shen Yuan was the biggest suspect.

After listening to Lao Zhao's narration, everyone was silent, and Shen Wen said to Shen Yu'an: "Girl Shen, brother knows you won't do such a thing, don't worry, I will tell your husband to help you find out about this."

"Thank you, Brother Shen Wen, you must tell my husband, I have never done this." Shen Yuan said a few words to Shen Wen with a look of grievance, and was escorted away.

After entering the yamen, the county magistrate couldn't wait to interrogate Shen Yuan.

"Where is Miss Ding now? Hurry up and ask for it."

"Like I said, I didn't tie her up, and I didn't order anyone else to tie her up. How would I know where she is?" Shen Yuan also complained endlessly.

"Do you still dare to deny it? The carriage that kidnapped her is in your hands."

Shen Yuan hurriedly said, "This carriage is not mine. I met Zhao Mo, the owner of Zuixianlou on the way this morning. He gave it to me. Everything I said is true. .”

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin had no choice but to send someone to Zuixianlou to invite Zhao Mo.

"Mr. Zhao, please sit down." The Zhao family is the richest man in Lingzhou City, and the county magistrate Lin can't afford to offend such a person.

Zhao Mo wore a thick sable fur cloak, sat down and looked at Shen Yuan with a half-smile.
